India is the world's third-largest polymer market (roughly 18-20 million tonnes a year), but unlike most import markets it makes the bulk of its own commodity resin, so the opening is segment-specific: a structural PVC deficit, net imports of polypropylene, and engineering polymers (polycarbonate, PA66, POM) that are almost entirely imported. China-origin resin competes on structural feedstock cost despite an 8.25% duty wall (no India-China FTA), and Vietnamese calcium-carbonate filler, which India imports more of than any other country, is the natural cross-sell alongside it. These guides cover the duty structure, the anti-dumping map, EPR compliance, and grade-level sourcing for one of Asia's highest-barrier polymer markets.
